Target sales drop in 1st quarter and retailer warns they will slip for all of 2025

Really missed on their core demographics and instead got swept up with conservative influencers who never shop there going to the stores to make a scene about queer shite.

What a self-own.

You are tying not letting men pee with little girls to their financial results.


Interesting.

Alienating everybody is not a good business strategy? Who knew?

What about what should have been option A: sell shite and not be political? Why did they have to make tuck bathing suits for kids? Why did every shirt for little boys have to have rainbows? If they had just remained neutral and sold shite none of this would be an issue

Considering there have been active protest campaigns against shopping there by liberals, yeah, I reckon you can make that connection...

Not making a judgement, just tying it all together...

That is why businesses should not be in politics. You will piss off 50% of the people.

It took months for the media to give any credit to AB's slide to conservative boycotts which were massive and widely felt.

But Target sales slipping in 90 days is clearly the product of a handful of gay activists and a black pastor.

They're just using DEI withdrawal for their poor performance Just an excuse. If truly a DEI issue, they should reinstate publicly and immediately.

I quit going when they made it policy to let dudes into the ladies' changing rooms and bathrooms. That was a ways before the tucking suits and abundant pride swag.

They recently cut their CEO's pay by 45% due to these results.

This.

I never understood why Musk got involved with politics since most of his customers who bought his cars were on the left. They are the ones buying EVs.

What a foolish way to blame away the issues. First of all the amount of financial pressures put on for the last 4 years has been tough on marginal people in lower income which accounts for a lot of Targets business bout it also put pressure on moderate income people as well as credit cards balances are higher than before as well as total credit debt/ defaults. That said I also imagine Target may have lost a percentage of conservative people that were pissed but Targets wokeness. I’m certain that white women shoppers will still spend their money there regardless

DEI withdrawal is costing them millions because they think a bunch of bots commenting on their posts are real and meaningful. Internally is where the DEI stuff is impacting them. You would be amazed at what some employees are saying to the executive team on public slacks within the company. It’s truly incredible. Leadership at target are a bunch of cucks.

If they hadn't gone woke in the first place the problem of "quit woke" would never exist.

lol.

You think their core demographics is ****s? Their core is suburban moms.

Guess who doesn’t want dudes with dongs peeing next to their daughters?

Suburban moms. Once Target lost them they are paying the price.

100%. “Targay” was the alt-Walmart. Once the suburb moms figured out the Walmart stigma wasn’t as bad as shopping at the tranny store, they won’t go back.
